Description
Krug’s Grande Cuvée 162ème Édition is a masterclass in blending across time. Composed around the 2006 harvest and spanning 142 wines from 11 vintages (1990–2006), it captures the essence of the House’s philosophy—harmony through contrast. Richly expressive yet precise, it opens with notes of toasted brioche, hazelnut and citrus peel, unfolding into layers of honeyed orchard fruit and subtle spice. The Wine Advocate’s William Kelley praised it as “a model of both power and finesse,” while Essi Avellan MW described its texture as “sumptuous yet utterly composed.” Presented here in Jeroboam, this rare format magnifies Krug’s slow-maturing complexity and depth, offering decades of graceful evolution. Drink now for its opulence or cellar until at least 2045 to witness its full symphonic crescendo.
